Another Idea.
Another (probably crazy) idea...
-Take a plain TI85-TI85 cable.
-Take an old set of headphones, or just buy one of the jacks. (Or probably,
you have one if you converted a headphone for using it with tie ti85
linkport.)
- cut off one of the ti85 ends and replace with the headphone end.
- plug one side into a RECORD&playback walkman.
write a driver.
Let's say that You make 16 different ranges of sound frequency. Then 2
different blocks of data are neccessary to get a byte. Hold the tone for a
few milleseconds, and add some sort of simple checksum per so-and-so many
blocks as verification.
I know that's doable.. old systems like the C64 had as main storage device
tapedrives using plain old music tapes. no special quality tape or
anything.
Would probably take a while to transfer data (takes a long time on a C64...
and that has 64k.) but, it's a way, and cheap, since you don't need to buy
anything. Do need to have some kind of portable tape recorder, though. Even
if you don't have that, not too expensive. I might just fiddle with this
and write a driver.
Again, same question here.. has anyone tried/thought/has any ideas about
this?
